Planning and managing hundreds of international digital campaigns

Since 2014, Adviso has been regularly mandated by Cirque du Soleil to execute strategic planning and digital campaign management missions for its various shows across Canada and the United States, as well as in Europe and Australia. Over the years, Adviso has contributed to the success of hundreds of campaigns for these shows, whether they be arena shows, under the big top, or even a resident show in Las Vegas. These campaigns needed to simultaneously promote the existence of the show, strengthen brand equity and meet ticket sales objectives.

* ROI is calculated in ROAS (Return on Ad Spent) held between 1500% and 3000% in all cities despite the significant incremental investment in digital brand awareness and diversity of investments.

Challenges related to the project

Cirque had never invested significant parts of its digital budget into brand equity positioning;

Working with an internal structures that didn’t allow for investing in a market before a show was announced, so it wasn’t possible to prepare relevant audiences for the show’s arrival;

Maintaining ticket sales performance, which could not slow down or diminish despite significant incremental investment in digital brand awareness and diversity of placements;

Adapting more than a hundred strategies deployed and executed in 2016 to the realities and cultural context of local markets.
